I'm not hungry anymore! heard you get less appetite, but only 73 years old!?

Worth a checkup: You are right that just simply not being hungry is not something to ignore. There are several possible reasons. There could be a medical condition affecting your hunger, there could be something affecting your sense of smell (smell plays a large role in the enjoyment of food), or you could be depressed. In any event it is worth talking to your doctor.
